The inventory form displays a list of available experiments, subject to user-specified filters. One of the filters specifies the instruments you want to see. For several of the incoherent scatter radars, for example Millstone and EISCAT, there are several options corresponding to different antennas. As a rule, select the first option, which displays all data from that instrument. In addition to the filters, a number of options may be selected on the form. For example, it is possible to display a combined listing of experiments at all Madrigal sites, or only the experiments at the current site.
This form allows you to generate a report on multiple experiments at once. Experiments can be filtered by instrument, kind of data, and date range or season. The data within any given experiment can be filtered using any logical expression(s) involving any parameter, measured or derived. Data from all experiments located in the local Madrigal database matching your criteria will be returned in a single report.
Use of the Madrigal Database is generally subject to the
CEDAR Database Rules-of-the-Road.
Prior permission to access the data is not required.
However, the user is required to establish early
contact with any organization whose data are
involved in the project to discuss the intended
usage. Data are often subject to limitations which
are not immediately evident to new users. Before
they are formally submitted, draft copies of all
reports and publications must be sent to the contact
scientist at all data-supplying organizations along
with an offer of co-authorship to scientists who
have provided data. This offer may be declined. The
Database and the organizations that contributed data
must be acknowledged in all reports and
publications, and whenever this data is
made available through another database. If you have any questions about
appropriate use of these data, contact dlh37@cornell.edu
Please send any comments or suggestions about any part of the Madrigal web site to the Open Madrigal Users Mailing List.
